Waldemar felt, perhaps rightly so, that the revenues from the fisheries in his territories should be more under his control and did his best to reduce the privileges his predecessors had given to the Germans.
Waldemar was a cunning man and he felt that since only the Wendish cities had taken part in the war with him he had only made peace with the Wendish cities and not the Prussian ones.
Waldemar was forced to flee Copenhagen and stay as a guest of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, who treated him graciously as a guest but gave him no aid against the Hansa, counselling him to sue for peace instead.

King Valdemar is a pivotal figure in Danish history; he gradually reacquired the rest of Jutland and Zealand, and finally reunited Denmark by capturing Scania and the island of Gotland in 1361.
His nickname "Atterdag" is usually interpreted as "day again" (its literal meaning in Danish), but it is more likely a misinterpretation of the low German phrase "ter tage" ("these days"), which can best be interpreted as "what times we live in!"
